Scorched hole opens up at 'End of the World'

A massive hole of unknown depth has been discovered in a gas-rich but remote Russia peninsula, known by the local indigenous population as the 'End of the World'.

The 80m-wide abyss was spotted by an oil exploration helicopter, and a team of scientists will visit the site today, reports The Siberian Times.

No one is sure yet what created the puncture, which is believed to be up to two years old, but the Russian Emergencies Ministry has ruled out a meteorite strike.

Scientist Anna Kurchatova from the Sub-Arctic Scientific Research Centre has blamed global warming. She told the Times she thinks it was formed by an underground explosion, caused by an "alarming" melt in surface permafrost – releasing huge amounts of gas like the popping of a champagne cork.

Another theory is that it is a sinkhole caused by collapsing rock, but the sides of the hole appear to have been scorched, backing the theory there was some kind of explosive, fiery event.

In the video shot by the helicopter crew, something can be seen streaming into the hole – possibly water or fine soil.

Experts from the Centre for the Study of the Arctic and the Cryosphere Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences will take soil, water and air samples from the scene in an attempt to figure out what happened.

The Yamal Peninsula holds the largest known reserves of natural gas in Russia – estimated at around 55 trillion cubic metres.

Yamal is also the place where the 'climate scientist' Keith Briffa pulled a very few select data points from a very few carefully chosen trees, discarding the data from any tree that didnt help him create...

One of the most remote areas in the world seems to be slowly turning into something resembling a slice of Swiss cheese. Two new huge holes have been discovered in a Siberian region nicknamed "the end of the world," reports the Siberian Times.

A 260-foot-wide crater found in the area caught the world's attention earlier this month, and now researchers and reindeer herders have uncovered two more: one with a diameter of around 50 feet, and another—which nearly swallowed the herders who stumbled across it—with a diameter of only about 13 feet but an estimated depth of up to 328 feet, Gizmodo reports.

At the larger of the two, "there is also ground outside, as if it was thrown as a result of an underground explosion," says a regional lawmaker who inspected the site from a helicopter.

"It is not like this is the work of men, but [it] also doesn't look like natural formation," says one of the Russian experts puzzling over the phenomenon.

Some of the wilder theories about the formation of the holes include aliens and weapons testing, but the leading theory suggests that they're caused by natural gas deposits bursting, NBC reports, possibly the result of warmer temperatures.

(Another Siberian crater, this one 62 miles wide, is believed to sit on top of a diamond field holding "trillions of carats.")

Someone needs to go there and rearrange the rocks and rubble into the shape of two hands.
